Chapter 571: Chapter 570: Something Got in My Eye

Yan Feifan arrived at the director’s office of the Diagnostics Department. Besides Mr. Qi, he also saw Mr. Hou, the vice president in charge of medical affairs.

"Feifan, the hospital has signed a settlement agreement with Zhou Guangji’s family. We now have to finalize the internal accountability and disciplinary measures."

Qee Sheng sighed softly and continued, "In this matter, you’re something of a victim yourself. We wanted to hear your opinion first regarding the handling of Zhu Xiangdong and We Xin."

Yan Feifan shook his head. "Mr. Qi, Mr. Hou, I have no opinion. Just handle it according to the hospital’s rules and regulations."

Qee Sheng and Mr. Hou exchanged a look. Qee Sheng then said, "Feifan, some of the inside details weren’t put down on paper. They’re only known by you, me, and a few other hospital leaders."

"For example, they tried to shift the blame by pointing out that you were the one who limited the stimulation voltage to two milliamps, and that a third party, who was not qualified to operate the equipment, performed an improper procedure during the test."

"In the hospital’s internal incident report, their fault was listed as failing to gradually increase the electrical stimulation from low to high. This caused a sudden overload, which triggered the deceased’s major epileptic seizure."

"Furthermore, the rescue efforts were not timely, which constituted a serious error."

Qee Sheng explained briefly. Noticing no change in Yan Feifan’s expression, he continued, "We have to issue penalties based on this incident report. The proposed disciplinary action is..."

He paused, then said slowly with a complex expression, "Zhu Xiangdong will be fired! We Xin will be dismissed!"

Hearing this, Yan Feifan knew that Mr. Qi had gone easy on them. At the very least, Zhu Xiangdong’s medical license was being preserved.

In his opinion, someone like Zhu Xiangdong—who was extremely unprofessional, careless, and tried to pin the blame on others afterward—deserved severe punishment.

Not making him face the corresponding legal liabilities was already letting him off easy.

Yan Feifan had a faint feeling that Zhu Xiangdong had ultimately achieved his goal of dragging him into this.

This whole affair reeked of doctors protecting their own and covering things up.

Many people had been dragged into this, which ironically made it difficult to punish Zhu Xiangdong severely.

Many people say the adult world is all about mutual exploitation, submission, and compromise. Yan Feifan was now getting a profound taste of that.

Now that things had come to this, there was nothing more he could say.

"Mr. Qi, Mr. Hou, I have no objection to this outcome."

"Um, about Dr. We Xin..."

Yan Feifan mulled it over for a moment, then said, "If possible, just give her a severe internal reprimand. Don’t dismiss her."

"She was more of an accomplice and has shown remorse. Why not give her a chance to learn from her mistakes?"

Mr. Hou nodded slightly. "Mr. Yan, we will give your suggestion serious consideration..."

For lunch today, Yan Feifan ate with his sister and Yu Suye at the staff cafeteria.

He noticed his sister’s fingers were still bare and teased, "I thought you’d be wearing the ring and showing it off all over the hospital!"

Yan Ziruo shot him a look and huffed, "I’m not an idiot. If some thief saw it and forcibly yanked it off my finger, I’d be at a huge loss."

"That’s a lot easier than robbing a bank."

She then chuckled. "Feifan, Su Ye, I already ordered a safe online. It’s really heavy and supposedly super secure, perfect for storing our family’s valuables."

Yan Feifan scoffed. "If someone really sets their sights on it, even a bank vault won’t be enough to protect it."

"Hey, let me tell you guys something..."

Yan Feifan briefly told them about the hospital’s decision regarding Zhu Xiangdong and We Xin.

"Now that the decision is out, this matter is finally over."

Yan Ziruo commented, then added with a light chuckle, "I heard Mrs. Qin expelled one student, and Mrs. Yu expelled two."

"Mr. Wang Chuan’s other student, who used to be the hospital’s number one pretty boy, is now a total wreck."

"Add Mr. Qi’s two students to the list, and I bet Mr. Lo Jun’s students are all shaking in their boots right now, terrified."

Yu Suye chimed in with a light laugh, "Feifan is a bona fide ’student killer’."

"It must be because Feifan’s luck is too powerful. The mentors can’t handle it, so they have to sacrifice their own students to the heavens."

Yan Feifan didn’t want to engage with their crazy talk, so he just lowered his head and started eating.

But he’d only taken a few bites when he was interrupted by a call from Mr. Tian.

"Feifan, you don’t have any plans to take Xiaoyu to the beach, do you?"

Yan Feifan replied, a little confused, "No, I don’t."

Then a thought struck him, and he chuckled. "Xiaoyu’s birthday is coming up. Does the little girl want to go to the beach?"

"It’s not about her birthday!"

Mr. Tian denied it over the phone, then continued, "But now that you mention her birthday, you’ve actually reminded me."

"This year, the kid got into Bin University High School, and her mom is pregnant again. If I don’t make a bigger deal out of her birthday, the little girl will probably start feeling neglected."

After a pause, Mr. Tian changed the subject. "The reason I mentioned swimming at the beach is that I just found out about a colleague’s son from another department. He also just got into high school."

"This morning, his son went to the beach with a classmate and was apparently pulled into a deep-water area by a riptide. They still haven’t found him."

"When my colleague heard the news, he practically went insane."

Mr. Tian sighed over the phone, then added a reminder, "You guys have spoiled that girl Xiaoyu rotten. Don’t indulge her too much. You can’t just give her everything she wants."

Yan Feifan chuckled lightly. "Xiaoyu is actually quite well-behaved."

He added, "Don’t worry, Mr. Tian. We won’t take Xiaoyu anywhere unsafe to play."

Mr. Tian sounded a little embarrassed on the phone. "When Xiaoyu is with you and Ruoruo, her mother and I are completely at ease."

"It’s just that I suddenly heard this terrible news about my colleague’s son, and it really struck a chord, so I couldn’t help but call."

"Anyway, that’s all. I’m hanging up. I won’t keep you any longer."

Yan Feifan put down his phone, and after lamenting with his sister and Su Ye for a moment about the anxieties of being a parent, he couldn’t resist calling Tian Yu.

Learning that they would be returning tomorrow afternoon, Yan Feifan couldn’t help but nag for a bit, reminding Xiaoyu to be careful, not to get heatstroke, and so on.

When Yan Feifan put his phone down, he heard his sister laugh. "Feifan, I just realized you don’t treat Xiaoyu like a younger sister. It’s more like you treat her as a daughter."

Yan Ziruo then said with mock seriousness, "You know, even though your emotional intelligence is terrible, you rely on your smarts and always think you’re superior to others. You don’t think anyone your age is worthy of talking to you as an equal."

"So, your mental age must be forty or fifty. Treating Xiaoyu like a daughter is a perfect fit!"

Yan Feifan grunted twice and said, "By that logic, it means I treat you like a daughter too."

He’d expected a slap from his sister for saying that, but instead, her expression turned serious.

"Feifan, now that you mention it, that might actually be true."

"Most of the money you’ve earned since we were kids, I was the one who spent it. You’d get annoyed, but you never did anything about it."

"Feifan, do you feel like it’s your responsibility to earn money to support the family and take care of me?"

Yan Feifan rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "You’re so clumsy, and we don’t have a mom or dad. If I don’t take care of you, who will?"

"These tender little shoulders of mine have been carrying this burden since..."

He hadn’t even finished his sentence when he noticed his sister’s eyes turning red. He quickly said, "Sis, are you getting emotional?"

"No way. Something just got in my eye."

Yan Ziruo wiped the corner of her eye and said softly, "Feifan, we’re all grown up now. You don’t need to take care of me anymore."

"Is that so?"

Yan Feifan asked with a look of pleasant surprise, "Sis, does this mean you’re going to be independent and take care of yourself?"

Yan Ziruo said proudly, "Of course! How could I keep relying on you? I’m almost thir... I’m in my late twenties..."

Yan Feifan cut in, "Sis, the mark of independence is no longer spending my money. Your take-home pay right now is less than ten thousand a month."

As soon as he said that, Yan Ziruo threw her arm around her brother’s shoulders and said with a laugh, "We’re siblings who have to rely on each other to survive. Why draw such clear lines between us..."
